The Prince Who Wanted to Live Forever

About the Book

The prince of Gomorrah desperately seeks eternal life. With a large entourage, he sets off into the desert to find the wise sage, Wisdom. The prince is certain Wisdom can help. In exchange for the secret to living forever, the prince offers the man and his family wealth, pomp and pageantry, debauchery and drunkenness, and even mystical insights into the human soul. Nothing works. The prince resorts to intimidation, threatening to destroy Wisdom’s stronghold and enslave his daughters. Wisdom stands firmly in his decision and drives the prince and his entourage into the desert. After three days, they encounter the Dark Lord who offers the prince eternal life for an exorbitantly high price. The prince accepts, and the Dark Lord delivers. The prince must live with the catastrophic outcome of his choices.
